<p align=center><b>Release 4.5: DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</b></p>
<p>Two of the historic arguments for the <a href="../../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a> method have been moved
from the interface to separate methods in order to make them available
within the new replication manager framework.</p>
<p>The <b>priority</b> parameter should now be explicitly set using the
<a href="../../api_c/rep_priority.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_priority</a> method.  To upgrade existing replication applications
to the Berkeley DB 4.5 <a href="../../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a> interface, it may be simplest to
insert a call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_priority.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_priority</a> immediately before the
existing call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a>.  Alternatively, it may make more
sense to add a single call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_priority.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_priority</a> during database
environment configuration.</p>
<p>The <b>timeout</b> parameter should now be explicitly set using the
<a href="../../api_c/rep_timeout.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_timeout</a> method.  To upgrade existing replication applications
to the Berkeley DB 4.5 <a href="../../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a> interface, it may be simplest to
insert a call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_timeout.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_timeout</a> immediately before the existing
call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_elect.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_elect</a>.  Alternatively, it may make more sense to add
a single call to <a href="../../api_c/rep_timeout.html">DB_ENV-&gt;rep_set_timeout</a> during database environment
